Is this the second verse from Alice’s Restaurant? Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
$50 and pick up the garbage I sold and put it back in the trash pile ." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" “Selling Rubbish”

"Low hanging fruit" comments in 3, 2, 1...

Shad or Kingfish- when does thr Nee family go to prison? Can we get an update

They get sentenced after federal sentencing and we are waiting on that.

Ya know, it just dawned on me....All the LHF arrests by Shad are micro examples of how the entirety of Mississippi's government actually works. Get elected and cut some throats of LHF Mississippians to get re-elected, do favors for your colleagues who also intend to fleece the LHF Mississippians through taxation (theft) and get nothing for their garnishments, and then use select media outlets to promote and pretend how your "helping" all of the know-nothing LHF Mississippians - because they're easy pickings. Hell, they're ground fruit, at the bottom of the nation. THAT's pattern recognition folks.

The delay in the New sentencing makes no sense unless others will be charged, and there has been plenty of time to investigate others and charge them. I believe she is now 72 and that the Feds are recommending 25 years, so she probably welcomes any delay she can get.

It's been over 5 years since the first TANF arrests, and:

1, the AG hasn't arrested anybody (but they have sued Shad to stop him from doing THEIR job)

2. the Feds got Christi Webb, Jake Vanlandingham, and are awaiting trial for Teddy Jr. (which was just delayed AGAIN)

If Phil isn’t charged and Shad alongside him for apparently trying to cover it up, then the entire thing will forever stink.

Yet, Sheriff Bryan Bailey steals truck loads of gravel from Rankin County, as told by former deputy Christian Dedmon, and Bailey walks free. The Height of The Ridiculous!!

Shad WILL NOT go after any of the corrupt politicians in Rankin County. The county is a republican stronghold and Shad doesn’t want to do anything that might jeopardize his run for higher office.
In the end he is the same as all other elected officials from local to national, they pretend to be fighting for the people but it’s just a show. We have only ourselves to blame for continuing to elect the same people over and over again.

Shad is ridiculous at avoiding going after the higher up. Elect someone with a pair of stones to really do the job..

$2,754.80 in restitution for scrap metal, and Shadrick dodges hundreds of millions in questionable Department of Corrections emergency contracts. Does he think that's lost on us?

We are so lucky to have law enforcement agencies solving “petty larceny” crimes. Get your head out of where it is and look at the real problems.
I hope our neighboring states don’t get a chance to read this.

Serious question, what would the contents of the Stone County Rubbish Site have been used for otherwise? Is this material that would have been sold for scrap or recycling?

But the State Auditor doesn’t audit local entities. So these findings are first discovered by the firm doing the audit, then passed on to the state auditor office.

Dang Shad this means you have to investigate and arrest damn near every County Supervisor in the State of Mississippi. I sure didn’t know this was against the Law. Man I’ve been seeing this happen since my granddaddy was on the County payroll. Now I can’t take trash and sell it but I can take millions from TANF meant for the poor and nothing happens. Ain’t that ass backwards. My men are at the County barn as we speak, I need to tell them it’s against the Law.

"took various types of scrap metal which belonged to Stone County from the Stone County Rubbish Site"

Woo hoo! I'm so glad y'all worked so hard to catch this master criminal who was destroying society and government operations...

"They get sentenced after federal sentencing and we are waiting on that."

Help me make that make sense.

Shad hasn't busted a single person that will cost him a single vote. If they are big republicans in a big republican county they can do whatever. Watch the trend!
I'm not a big hat Gipson fan either! I farm and we are struggling with no labor and low prices and closed markets. All big hat is doing is singing his little song about how great am I! Showboat! All hat and no cows!

We need a single-term state auditor--preferably a CPA with some brains, cajones, and ethics--to clean this mess up. Anyone beholden to a political party is just going to produce the same meager results. Anyone unaffiliated with a political party ain't going to get elected. See the problem?

I’ve seen schools get rid of hundreds of old metal lockers and give them to custodians, maintenance workers and any employees that want them! Now when an employee mishandles millions of TANF money meant for the needy y’all go through 5-10 years of red tape knowing damn well who did what but pussy foot around getting them held accountable.

As Mississippi does.

So does the metal get sold by the county? Or does it just sit there rusting or get buried?

One man's rubbish is another man's opportunity. A sculptor in Aspen used old chrome bumpers to fashion a giant eagle in front of a motel on Main Street, where I rented a room by the month in the 70s. But dumpster diving is on Shad's "Don't tempt me"; or "Go ahead, make my day" list?

I'm on "Team Shad" but arresting a guy that got trash out of the dump and recycled it for a few dollars is BS. Total waste of resources that could have been used better.

I agree, corruption should be rooted out and punished. But the fish rots from the head down, and Shad always seems to be working on the part that isn't stinking so much.

In other news, these politicians, they sure do like to fight a lot, don't they? I hear how they're always fighting for me. Makes me feel reeeeeeeeeal special.

Ole Shad writes a book on company time using company staff & equipment but nary a word about his misdeeds. But quick to prosecute a young man for pilfering from the county rubbish pile? Shad’s day will come-just a matter of time!

I'm a fan of Shad. I plan to vote for Shad for governor. But the criticisms of Shad for avoiding Hinds County and Jackson are quite valid.

Fish, do you let Shad write his own corny ass headlines for each time he has to publicly announce he went to work today? Perks of having your big head on the ad column I guess.

My granddaddy used to go to the County Barn to get gravel for our driveway. I guess it’s against the law? But, when he helps the County Supervisor get gravel from the County Site for his personal driveway it’s OK. Now I am confused!
When a MDHS worker commits fraud they get convicted and is sentenced. But when a high ranking politician does the same thing with more money involved(millions) it takes years to get the nerve to dole out convictions and punishment.

Dan Smith did this for YEARS at the Hinds County Penal Farm. He would "allow" the county or anyone to dump scrap at the County Farm and then have the trustees sort it. One of his special trustees would drive the truck and trailer to the scrap yard and bring the money back. The funds went right into Dan Smith's pocket after he'd peel a couple 20s off for his trustee. The amount of stuff that went missing from Katrina relief was staggering as well. Dan Smith stole multiple generators, food, water, anything not bolted down. What he didn't steal was horded. There are still old barns and buildings at the farm full of rotting mattresses, MREs, pallets of water that were all sent for Katrina relief that he horded and tried to sell for personal profit.

"Rankin County is a Republican stronghold".

Correct. And it's poster boy just lost his bid to become mayor of some hick-town over there.

The HOA that I have resided in for 21 years is stealing money collected from HOA members and laughing all the way to the Bank.They smile and laugh at homeowners saying,"What are you going to do about it,We're in charge,you're not,prove we are stealing the money or shut up.Remember that we are in charge here,so if you threaten to expose us,we will use any form of retribution to make your life as miserable as possible,including our friends in local and state government. Ask Queen Mary to help you and tell us how that works out for you,grinning and smirking and privately making bets between themselves on which way you fall when you drop dead.Welcome To Mississippi.

It would be interesting to know what Sheriff Bailey might have stolen and stashed at the family farm. I’d bet a nickel he didn’t stop with just a lot of gravel. I am a believer that good always wins over evil, and the truth will always come to light.

@6:48 You or one of your neighbors is going to have to buck up and sue your HOA board. Laurelwood in Flowood did it and won. Several others have followed suit with cases in progress. Now, someone in my HOA is suing our Board. Study your bylaws and covenants and talk to a good attorney that knows HOA stuff. There are a few others, but Jeff Rimes (Taggert & Rimes) knows HOA stuff. The more of us who step up, the less these HOA boards feel they can operate with impunity. Unfortunately, you're going to have to spend some of your own money to make it right. Expect your board to fight you using the HOA coffers. You can also expect relentless harassment via fines for pedantic (or non-existent) violations and social media. The Laurelwood board even sued the woman that started it in Laurelwood. (Does anyone know what came of all that?) I expect our board is going to go straight for a lein on my property as soon as we go public, so I will be paying double in atty fees.

These criminal HOA boards are not going to give up their cash cows easily. Gird your loins or hide under the porch. There's no middle ground.

July 27, 4:32 you congered up old stories, man I worked at the County Farm prior to 1994 Man those were the good ole days where we had the best Pork Chops and Steaks for lunch and fresh garden vegetables! Yea they did a lot of illegal shit in today’s standards but no one made much about it. We had three inmates that had an apartment out there, that in today’s standard were real nice. All three inmates had County Vehicles at their disposal. (for county business, smile)
Now I can’t tell all the illegal stuff that was going on because a lot of my co-workers are deceased, but we had a hell of a good time! Now Shad, leave that little scrap metal shit alone and go after the big guns!

Which HOA is that 7/27? If we are in the same neighborhood I will help

Again…”The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing.” The Sheriff of Rankin is well known to have committed many acts of malfeasance, yet the “leaders” of the country choose to look the other way… is this what the leaders want to be remembered for? I hope they think about that when they lay down to sleep.

@2:14 Sorry. No spoilers. I don't a lot of people in my subdivision, so I don't know the all of the friends of the board. We don't want them to see it coming.

That said, no matter where you are, if your HOA board is stealing your money, go after them!
